Are any of you sleeping all the time? Like all the time? I wake up, get some coffee and then I have no idea what to do from there. I have no reason to be awake.

I did at the beginning of quarantine. It made me feel like shit. What helped was to not stress about it and not judge myself for doing it and just let it happen and sleep when I felt like it. Eventually, I ended up finding the motivation and started thinking of things I’d want to do throughout the day instead of sleep. Fighting the feeling or judging yourself only makes the whole thing worse and unbearable. Sending love to you!

I have started scheduling early morning calls. At 8:30. This forces me to get up, shower, and get ready for the day.

I would do this but would most likely miss the calls. Cannot function before 930

Additional Posts in Depression/Anxiety Talk

About month ago I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD) and had to go through cardiac catheterization to get a stent.
I am in mid 30s and it's unbelievable that i have got this. Have been quite down mentally for last few weeks, and don't think if I can sustain the consulting life anymore.
I am working hard to stop the progression of disease and potentially reverse it. Hope things work out.

I think I’m depressed.

Does anyone get so anxious about work that they can’t eat? The thought of food just makes you want to puke? How to manage? Skipping meals/not eating for a day is unhealthy and will cause weight gain
